Biodegradation of petroleum products in experimental plots in Antarctic marine sediments is location dependent. Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2007 (Ref: 12843)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Clean sediment collected from O’Brien Bay, East Antarctica, was artificially contaminated with a mix of Special Antarctic Blend diesel fuel and lubricating oil and deployed in two uncontaminated locations (O’Brien and Sparkes Bays) and a previously contaminated bay (Brown Bay)…

A study of metal and metalloid contaminant availability in Antarctic marine sediments Chemosphere, 2007 (Ref: 13265)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Previous studies of impacted sites near Casey Station, Antarctica, have revealed elevated concentrations of metals and metalloids, particularly Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, Sn and Zn in marine sediments. However…

A diverse benthic assemblage 100 km from open water under the Amery Ice Shelf, Antarctica Paleoceanography, 2007 (Ref: 12811)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A hot water drill was used to penetrate 480 m of ice to reveal a diverse benthic assemblage, dominated by … suspension-feeding invertebrates, under the Amery Ice Shelf (East Antarctica) at a location 100 km from open … water and at a depth of 775 m below sea level (840 m below the ice shelf surface)…

New terrestrial biological constraints for Antarctic glaciation Online Proceedings of the 10th ISAES, USGS Open-File Report 2007-1047, Extended Abstract 053, 2007 (Ref: 13066)
Category 3: Abstract

Ice sheet modelling of Antarctica supports a generally accepted view that most, if not all, currently ice free ground would have been obliterated at the LGM or previous maxima. However…

Field trial of ion-exchange resin columns for removal of metal contaminants, Thala Valley Tip, Casey Station, Antarctica. Cold Regions Science and Technology, 2007 (Ref: 12932)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A field trial for removal of dissolved metal contaminants in water from an abandoned waste disposal site, using ion-exchange … columns of an iminodiacetic acid chelating ion-exchange (IDA) resin, was conducted at Casey Station, Antarctica. An on-site … monitoring technique…

Preliminary evidence indicating Dome A (Antarctica) satisfying preconditions for drilling the oldest ice core Chinese Science Bulletin (Springer-Verlag), 2007 (Ref: 13236)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Lowest temperature and snow accumulation rate are preconditions for retrieving the oldest ice core … from the polar ice sheets. The 10-m depth firn temperature at Dome A, the summit of the Antarctic Ice … Sheet, recorded by an automatic weather station (AWS) was −58.3 in 2005 and −58.2 in 2006…
